Fowl Fortune in the Chicken Run Slot Machine Game
The "Chicken Run" slot machine game is a farming-themed online casino game developed by Realistic Games (RG), a leading UK-based provider of online slots and bingo games. The game was released to coincide with the success of Nick Park’s stop-motion animated film, "Chicken Run," which was first released in 2000.
Theme and Design
The game takes place on a farm, where players are transported into a world filled with chickens, eggs, Chicken Run tractors, and other farming-related elements. The background design features rolling hills and fields of green crops, complete with animated birds flying overhead to add an element of depth to the scene.
Visual Elements
The game’s visual elements are colorful and well-designed, reflecting the whimsical nature of the film that inspired it. Each symbol has been carefully crafted to resemble a character or item from the movie, such as Ginger (the lead hen) and Rocky (a lovable but slightly dim-witted rooster).
Symbols
The symbols used in "Chicken Run" are diverse and engaging, with each one related to farming, chickens, eggs, or farm-related activities. The game’s paytable features a range of standard symbols:
- High-Value Symbols: Ginger (the lead hen), Rocky (the lovable rooster), and Bockles the large chicken.
- Medium-Value Symbols: Eggs, Tractors, Harvesters, Cows, and Pigs.
- Low-Value Symbols: Aces through to Kings in standard playing card format.
Each high-value symbol is associated with a specific payout range:
- Ginger (the lead hen): $0.40 – $10
- Rocky (lovable but slightly dim-witted rooster): $0.30 – $9
- Bockles the large chicken: $0.20- $8
Payouts
The payouts for "Chicken Run" are calculated based on a combination of two to five matching symbols in sequence, regardless of whether they appear on adjacent reels or not.
In general, these pay out as follows:
- Two identical symbols: 5 – 10x the bet
- Three consecutive matching symbols (one reel apart): 15-50x the bet
- Four consecutive matching symbols two reels apart: 30-100x the bet
Wilds
In "Chicken Run," the game’s wild symbol is a Wild Rooster logo, representing Rocky from the movie. This rooster can substitute for any standard or high-value paying symbol to form winning combinations.
If it appears on reel 1 and no other symbols appear on reels 3 or 5 simultaneously with that win, you will gain an additional free spin by getting another wild at start-up of a new game.
Scatters
The Scatter Egg symbol is the key feature for triggering a bonus round. Landing three or more Scattered Eggs anywhere in view within any consecutive sequence activates the Bonus Round.
In this bonus, Ginger gets you 10 free spins with multipliers that can go up to x20!
Bonus Features and Free Spins
The "Chicken Run" slot game includes a series of randomly triggered bonus games called "BONUS FORTUNES" that may have cash prizes ranging from £1,000 to £50,000.
